Trump: drives a truck filled to the brim with crying orphans into an active volcano and chants satanic rituals, causing the smoke cloud to gather into a demonic form that begins defiling innocent bystanders

Fucking idiots, for some reason: This is just another distraction from the Epstein files

    The Epstein files are the first thing that got a meaningful portion of MAGA to turn on him.

    Leftists aren’t going to take down Trump on their own, when half the country apparently wants to put women and children and everyone brown into cages.

    So if Epstein is the ONE issue we can use to get his supporters to drag him down, then yes, that’s what I’m going to harp on.

    I don’t want to win an award for Hating The Right Thing At The Right Time on the internet.

    I want to stop Trump.

      The Epstein files are a dead end; if MAGA was going to turn on Trump because of them they already would have. It’s more than possible for the sane half (more realistically ~60%) of America to stop the fascists, but it won’t happen if you keep waiting for the fascists to turn on their great leader because that just does not and will not happen.

      PS: Your democracy will be gone by the midterms if you don’t act.

        It would increase international pressure; the UK fired one of their ambassadors for his connection to Epstein. That’s progress in my book.

        It takes 0 effort to bring up the Epstein files constantly. I see no reason to stop, so long as people keep resisting.

          Uh… what? Less pedophiles in positions of authority is always a good thing, but how is this relevant to fascism in America?

          It takes 0 effort to bring up the Epstein files constantly.

          It derails other, sometimes more or equally important conversations. It also plays up the idea of the files as some kind of secret anti-fascist silver bullet that makes real resistance unnecessary or less necessary.

          so long as people keep resisting.

          They’d have to start first. Most of America isn’t resisting in any meaningful sense.

      make them admit they support a child rapist.

      we already got them to admit they support violent insurrection.

      and a groping rapist

      and a moron who would store national security documents - including nuclear sub information - in a bathroom at a resort

      at least use what few tools available to finally bring this fucking cretin down.

      downvotes? lol edit: aw did it upset the rapists the pedos or the incompetent lovers? just wondering lol

      That’s the problem with all these shitstains from the axis of cauc that love to go online and shit on “Americans”. Half the caucs in this country are fascists and 40% are liberals (right lite). Then they expect us POC to somehow fix what they (caucs worldwide) fucked up. Many have tried, and they were murdered by the state, before it became the insurmountable terror it is today. MLK, Ludlow, Fred Hampton, Malcom X, Brown Berets, MOVE, Operation Wetback, Tulsa, Red Lining, The Black Panthers, Corky Gonzales, exclusion from the GI bill after saving your sorry asses, etc. They can all shut the fuck up. None have ever done anything worth a shit in their life and are trending in the same direction internally. They’re just mad they didn’t take the lead in the explotation race.
